At the prompting of a poorly sourced We've Got This Covered article from my news feed, I'm watching a "forgotten Harrison Ford movie has come out of nowhere to conquer Netflix (but not American Netflix so don't look there...)" It's a bizarre movie but pretty enjoyable for what it is, an almost extended Twilight Zone. Though for a "Harrison Ford movie" he doesn't show up until almost an hour in...and even then he's probably in it for 15 to 20 minutes.

Not sure if i should spoil it....oh wait, there's tools for that:
The film is called The Age of Adaline.
Spoiler:
Blake Lively stars as a woman, born on New Years Day 1908 who after an accident when she's in her late 20's doesn't age anymore. She must live her life in secret so as not to arouse suspicion, depicted in one scene set during the Red Scare. On New Years 2015 she meets and starts a relationship with a young man. After some time together and some ups and downs she is invited along on a family celebration of his father (Ford) and mother's 40th wedding anniversary. BUT upon meeting the father it is revealed that he is a man she once loved but abandoned once things got serious to keep her secret.

I was on a non-stop flight to Puerto Rico once and they showed "The Time Traveler's Wife" - not normally the kind of movie I'd seek out and watch on my own. But I did and it was worth watching once, I'd say.

That's how I feel about that Harrison Ford flick. But it'd be better if I was "trapped into seeing it" somehow than actually making time to watch it specifically.... It's like "The Notebook". A girlfriend roped me into that one back in the day, but it was solid. I wouldn't have watched it on my own, otherwise.

On Sunday, my mother and I went to see Being the Ricardos. Nicole Kidman, Javier Bardem, J.K. Simmons, Nina Arianda, and Tony Hale were all fantastic. It was very interesting to see what was going in the lives of such an iconic celebrity couple and those who worked on a classic TV show. I'm glad that Lucie Arnez and Desi Arnez Jr. were executive producers.

I saw Sing 2 today. It was an entertaining and colorful follow-up to its predecessor.

The Suicide Squad from James Gunn. That movie was great. Bloodshot was cool. Peacemaker was such a douchebag. I loved Polka Dot Man's mommy issues that was hilarious.

Harley was much better in this one too. Also Stallone King Shark was great. Cool to finally see Starro on the big screen too

Today I saw American Underdog in theaters. I am not really into football, but I really enjoyed the film and seeing Kurt Warner's story being told. Zachary Levi and Anna Paquin gave very good performances too. It is worth checking out.

I saw the movie 2 days ago and was pleasantly surprised by it. At first, I wasn't all that interested in watching it despite liking the first one but this one was very sweet and touching. Don't always judge a trailer as being more of the same.

Justice Society World War 2 DC Animated. This one was great. No Batman to start. Superman Flash in Present day fighting Brainiac than in the WW 2/Alt Earth they got WW (with a Gal Gadot accent) Hour Man Jay Garrick Black Canary Hawkman Steve Trevor and Aquaman and a cameo of Doctor Fate.

More Batmanless movies like this please.

Spider-Man No Way Home.

Great movie Perfection. A perfect love letter to the Sony Spider-man Movies. I loved seeing all 3 of them on screen together

I've seen Father Stu twice in theaters. It is the perfect movie to watch over the Easter season. The film is also very important to me since I am a Catholic.

Lets see...

Warm Bodies, on Netflix, I'm not always a Zombie person but this PG13/12 movie wasn't bad actually, I liked the take of the Zombie person thinking like a regular person while telling his story. I dunno, because it's supposed to be stupid I think you accept the 'yeah as if'part of it.
I'd watch it again.

Also watched Snake Eyes, without knowing a lot about that franchise, enjoyble movie, didn't realise it was also the origin of more than one person.

I am currently watching Venom Let there be Carnage, too early to tell how it will go but I find him funny a little. I think people don't really like the Venom movie? As an outsider I can't comapre the character to how he is supposed to be but I liked it enough to watch it twice.

I watched The Bad Guys. This is possibly my favorite Dreamworks movie yet.

I love the character designs, the story, the score, and the characters themselves. Huge recommendation!

Oh, hey! Same here! Really loved it as well.

But I'm a sucker for heist movies.
